The County Commissioners met to-day
and elected Dr. George Wells. county
treasurer To succeed Mr.. N. Bannon. The
DIR. was notified of his election by Dir. W..
b. Gardiner, and soon made his appear
ance before the Board. and thanked them
in few fitting remarks for the honor and
trust they had confided in him, and said
he would endeavor TO discharge the du-
ties in "A faithful aud satisfactory manner.
The Doctors election had been fore
gone conclusion for sometime, and was
not unexpected bv his friends, who heart
ily congratulated him on his success. The
Doctor will file his bond in a few days,
but will not enter upon his duties, we
learn before the 1st of May, unless re-
auested to do so by his predecessor. He
has twenty days from his election in
which 10 file his bond Mr. Bannon, says
he is ready to turn the office over TO DR.
Wells at any time, and will be glad To do
so, when tue Board releases his bond. Mr..
Bannon s bond includes the taxes of 1886,
ami he will necessarily close up that year
unless there is some arrangements made
with the board and his bond released.
The bond of the county treasurer IS $4O,-
600 for county taxes aud u similar sum
for State taxes DR. Wells, it is under
stood, has selected Geo. w. Wilcox as

The reduction of internal revenue and

largely benefited the consumers. as we'll
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features. Especially is this the case with
GREEN'S AuguSt ft0aoer md BOSchee'S Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty six
cents per dozen, has been added To in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-tifth
more medicine in the 20 cent size. The
August Ftcaoer tor Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the Gernt0H Syrup for

the largest sale OF any medicines in the

of the bottles will be greatly appreciated

attended and the leader. Prof Reid, made
it both interesting and instructive. bis
spirited and ready description of Joseph
in Egypt the plaques visited upon the
Egyptian and Bible History up to the
point where the children of Israel enter
the wilderness as undisciplned slaves,
was such as to make an almost twice told
tale doubly interesting. The subject for
the next meeting will be the interval in
History reaching from the entrance of the

Severn River Bridge.

As an example of the solicitude which
our politicians feel for the people let any
working man, either hand worker or
brain-worker. propose To himself 10 take
a stroll with wife and child 'oyer Severn"
by the new county bridge-fhirty cents
will be the moderate cost of his prone
made as a simple reminder that wayfaring
people are not TO be encouraged and that
as citizens Of Annapolis the use of the
bridge their money has largely built, is
prohibited 10 them.
A horse with four feet and iron shoes
and man on him, is charged but one cent
more than the poor devils of our city who,
though tax payers, are Obliged to 20 afoot
Do their two feet use up the bridge as
much as your four footed animals? Like
the enormous tax we pay the county. it is
simply an extOrtion and discrimination
against us by the county
Not only is this bridge toll an evidence
Of the little regard paid TO wayfarcrs and
a contradiction of the cry of the greatest
good to the greatest number" but in our
county roads even what did exist in the way
Of path for the walker, or shade trees
by the way-side, have been destroyed and
there is nothing to prevent the entire &C.
cupation of the roads by selfish drivers of
wheeled vehicles Have those who can
not ride or who prefer 10 walk yet who vote
and pay taxes, double taxes indeed) no
right in the county roads, Rudely pushed
from the roads, are they net to use the
bridge either?
While in other States an "Arbor day"
is proclaimed and a premium paid, as in
Pennsylvania, for every tree planted by
the road side, our farmers are determined
TO make our roads cherries waste of
scorching land, to their own injury too,
by depriving the soil of moisture, inviting
droughts and driving off enterprising and
intelligent settlers.
Some years ago an Act was passed es
tablishing an "Arbor day in our State,
but its provisions have never been regard

April, which commenced Friday, proba-
bly, derives its name from the Latin verb
aperio, which means Il open" because
at this season the rigors of winter have
disappeared and the earth opens, as it
were, to permit the growth of vegetation.
The Anglo Saxons called it "OSter mo-
nath' and some say the reason for this
name was the prevalence of east winds at
this season, but we incline to the belief
that the term, like that of Easter was de-
rived from castro, Saxon deity whose
festival was celebrated in he spring.

is from well, into which impure water
comes This NAV be from the farm-yaTd.
and quite generally this Is the case. For
some years the water in well near the
house may be pure and wholesome. but
by and by the soil between il and the
barn-yard will become SO impregnated
that an unhealthy quality will be impart
ed to ii. and disease will result from its
use. This is almost sure to be the case
when the distance between the two is not
great, because as general thing. the bot
tom of the well is lower than the yard,
and the drainage from the latter will ex
tend in all directions through the most
porous strata Of soil, and when it reaches
the well il will naturally flow into it as a
reservoir No matter how pure the water
may have been when the well was first
dug, sooner or later it will be cOntamina-
ted by water flowing through the soil
from the barn-yard and cesspools located
anywhere near it. When making a well
have it, If possible, above the barn-yard,
and let the drainage be from it rather
than into it. Arrange place for Stops
with a cement bottom and sides, from
which glazed pipes cemented together, al
low the unhealty matter to flow off and
